Lyrics
Somebody That I Used To Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I had tender feelings that you made hard
But it's your heart, not mine, that's scarred
So when i go home, i'll be happy to go
You're just somebody that i used to know
You don't need my help anymore
It's all now to you, there ain't no before
Now that you're big enough to run your own show
You're just somebody that i used to know
I watched you deal in a dying day
And throw a living past away
So you can be sure that you're in control
You're just somebody that i used to know
I know you don't think you did me wrong
And i can't stay this mad for long
Keeping a hold of what you just let go
You're just somebody that i used to know
